Despite themselves infamously breaking Covid Rules earlier in the year with a large party, Ireland’s State Media have worked overtime to create a fictional crisis within the Irish church which apparently hinges on ‘divisions’ over returns to Communions and Confirmations.
To create this façade, they have brought Father Tony Flannery on a number of broadcasts, failing to tell viewers and listeners that he is currently suspended from public ministry by the Vatican.
Flannery appeared on RTE Radio this morning to express reservations about children being allowed to make their First Holy Communions and Confirmations, citing public health advice.
RTE, who broadcast a skit earlier this year which accused Catholics of worshipping a rapist God, also invited Fr. Brendan Kilcoyne of the Brendan Option podcast from Immaculata Productions.
One listener reacted angrily to the suggestions of opening, stating:
I am horrified that bishops and priests are willing to break public health guidelines. Disgraceful!
Fr. Brendan paused for a second before replying:
Society is itself doing things that we find absolutely abhorrent, such as for instance abortion, but we have to live with that
RTE will air pro abortion propaganda film ‘The 8th’ tomorrow, which was made with money from a grant by George Soros’s Open Society Foundation.
Maybe they will include this scene.
He said that he ‘admired’ Pope Benedict XVI.
